Most people turned to congratulate Chelsea for the fascinating game, but indeed Manchester City has a few advantages over key decisions. The most apparent controversies were the soft penalty awarded again, and no foul for the handball. Sadly if the standard of refereeing is normal, Chelsea should deserve a win.

    Sterling not sent off for endangering Foden, Cucurella not sent off with second yellow for some of the most egregious simulation you will ever see (right after Doku was given a yellow for simulation), Caicedo being allowed to foul repeatedly on a yellow, Gallagher not getting a yellow after committing six or more fouls (at least one of them worthy of a yellow on its own), and Chelsea awarded a penalty at the death to equalise (I think it was an obvious penalty, but if City are paying off the refs surely Taylor doesn’t give it on the technicality of Dias getting the ball).

    But yeah, there is a conspiracy to help City that is so clandestine every Tom, Dick, and Bertrand not only knows about it, but start five threads a day in this sub to discuss it.
